A Guy Hung An Offensive Sign Around His Neck To Make A Solid Point. And … It Worked.

When we ignore the people around us who are struggling to get by, isn't it a lot like putting on the first sign this guy wears?

I know this is old, but I don't remember seeing it. Makes you think...

3. I've never seen that one either...

I tell you I always try and keep faith in people that we're all good and what you see in that video is the exception not the rule. But it's getting harder and harder to believe that....where is our sense of decency our humanity?

4. It's true. A couple weeks ago, a kid took a dump on his bike in front of my house.

It wasn't earth-shattering, but he was bleeding and pretty shook up. I, and a few other ladies who drove by, ran to help him. When I came back in, my somewhat misanthropic son said something to the effect of, "gee, it wasn't that bad. I've taken worse tumbles and nobody ever helped me." I told him that *I* would have and I expect him to help anyone anytime that he can. And the reality, he really does.

7. In reality, if only one person had stopped to help, others would have stopped, too.

It's a quirk of human nature. When people see someone being a Good Samaritan, they are reminded of their own humanity.

5. just reflecting on how kind everyone was after 9/11

...and how callous we became after Obama's election and the economic depression.

Is a comparison to the Weimar Republic a gross exaggeration?
